Why working with professional translators is worth its weight in gold

Translation is a complex and vital process. It requires a deep understanding of the source and target languages in the cultural context they are being used. Working with professional translators can help businesses and organizations communicate effectively with their target audiences. Every language has its own set of linguistic and cultural nuances that must be considered during the translation process.  While it can be tempting to address your translation needs with an acquaintance, a friend or a native speaker of the target language, professional translators spend several years training for their trade for a reason. Of course, being a passionate linguist is a must, but it’s not enough! Here are six of the most important attributes of a professional translator: 1. Working with professional translators fluent in the languages they work in When translating languages, choosing a professional translator who is fluent in both languages is extremely important. The translator should have an in-depth understanding of the cultural and linguistic nuances of both languages. They should also be able to translate the text accurately while staying true to the original meaning.  2. Hiring a professional translator ensures that your target audience comes first One of the first steps in translating from one language to another is research. Thoroughly researching the target audience and their target cultural relevance is crucial. This will help ensure that the translation accurately conveys the intended meaning and message of your text.  For example, the terminologies and expressions used in legal documents will be different from those used in marketing campaigns. Similarly, those used in children’s resources will be very different from those used in... read more

How a Translation Project Manager Handles Translation Projects

A translation project manager deals with many parties, including translators, editors, proofreaders, and clients. Their task is to hold it all together. The importance of effective translation project management lies in its ability to foster seamless coordination between these different individuals or teams, ensuring their alignment and focus on the project’s objectives. Translation project managers manage logistics, timelines, and communications. Therefore they facilitate efficient collaboration while mitigating the risks associated with miscommunication or delays. Working in translation project management: An interview with the CEO of LingoStar, Lenka de Graafova We recently interviewed Lenka de Graafova, M.A., CEO and Managing Director of LingoStar Language Services Inc. Lenka has a deep passion for world cultures and languages. Together with her team of multilingual translators and project managers, she manages foreign language projects for Canadian clients.  Lenka talks about her experience in providing translation services in Canada and explains how to manage a high volume of multilingual translation projects. How and why did you create LingoStar? [Start of interview] I’ve got a translation background and I’ve worked in a translation company in London, UK. Before that, I lived in the Netherlands and had the experience of being a translator and interpreter of Czech and Dutch. Then I worked in London as a translation project manager, where I experienced the project management aspect of the job and learned how to negotiate with clients, contract translators, and manage projects in many languages. At the time, I thought it was an interesting development to grow from a translator to a project manager. When I moved to Canada in 2004 and started looking for a language-related... read more

Project Management in Translation & Translation Agency

What is project management and how does it relate to translation?  Project management in translation is the automation of the work process, i.e. the removal of so-called manual tasks that can be repetitive and tedious. It allows the translation agency to manage several projects at once – which requires a great deal of organization – and to have better control over ongoing projects. It also facilitates the creation of real collaboration within teams. The aim of project management is therefore efficiency. Among its many benefits, it allows the company to centralize its linguistic resources and thus ensuring consistency between the various translations.  Project management is the link between the organization’s goals and objectives and its projects. In other words, it ensures that the original budget is not exceeded and that the project is completed on time.  There are seven parts to corporate project management: 1) Risk Study: Identify and assess the potential risks of the project  2) Project Estimation: Calculate project costs, resources, and time 3) Project Reviews: Monitor the progress of the current project portfolio 4) Project Management Training: Share and interact with project managers 5) Escalated Issue Management: Being aware of urgent issues  6) Time Tracking: Develop a time-tracking system 7) Information System: Create a management platform shared with the team   You can read more about general project management here >>.  Why use an agency for project management in translation?  Working with either translation agencies or freelance translators has its advantages and disadvantages, and the choice between one or the other will depend on your specific translation needs.  However, here are our top 5 reasons why you should... read more
